PICS of my brand new CLS55 AMG

Just to add: the car has been left with customs today, for a period ranging between 7-14 days, for them to verify the car with Interpol etc. Its standard procedure, although i dont know why they bother on a new car

Then i get my bulgarian licence plates

That's going to hurt - I hope you aren't on their 'most wanted' list.

it really hard to have your new car taken away for 1-2 weeks!!!

but the procedure is important, and for used cars it's more important.

we had a bad experience in our family, when my aunt bought a used VW phayton V6 that came from france...

the interpol called the dealer she bought the car from, turned out it was stolen from germany, went through france, dubai and then here Oman, and they had to take the car from her!
they gave her her money back, but still that sucks

anyway she has a 745i now

Great car!

Any reasons you have skipped the CLS63?

see further up the thread

, to put it simply i did not find the CLS63 as exciting, especially its linear power delivery.. i liked the kick in the back you get from the CLS55... if i had chosen to go with a NA engine, it would have been the M5

ALSO CHECK THIS >> Because of bad design of the air intakes, the 63 produce significantly less power than advertised

shifting modes of the SMG gearbox... in S1-S5 shifts take around 150ms, in S6 they take around 70ms

Congrats ! Considering the average salary in Bulgaria is less than US300 a month, your high class taste of exotic cars certainly tells you and your friends are a good bunch of top end successful people.

CLS55 is great looking, with a lot of luxury features and not to say that 470hp and 69kg/m torque underneath it. I really love to see more photos of these exotic cars showing some beautiful sceneries of your country.
